If you’ve ever dreamed of hanging out with Dolly Parton (because, well, let’s be honest, who hasn’t), you may be happy to know that an evening spent with the country superstar may be more hilarious than you could imagine. Jane Fonda got candid about the one thing her friend tries to do every single day during a May 6 episode of “The View,” revealing that all Parton wants is make everybody laugh. Aww.
Speaking about what happens when she reunites with Parton and their “9 to 5” co-star Lily Tomlin, Fonda revealed that “there’s a lot of laughing” that goes on, sharing, “You can’t be around Dolly without laughing so hard you have to cross your legs.” As for that secret daily routine? Fonda added, “She told me once that she makes sure that before the sun sets and people go to bed that they’ve had a guffaw. A real big laugh. And that’s who she is. She’s fabulous.” Just when we thought we couldn’t love her more!
Parton has previously opened up about how important it is in her life to have a good laugh, telling “Today” in 2020, “Even right now during these times I’ve been making jokes about some of the stuff. People say, ‘Oh you shouldn’t be talking about that.’ I say, ‘Oh, I know it’s no laughing matter what’s going on, but laughter truly is the best medicine.'” That it is, that it is.
